Fractals always amaze me, and it is a really good topic for a game themed around going deeper and deeper.

Also - your game kinda looks... Gorgeous. And I am not only talking about fractals themself, the colours, animations - all of it is really nice to look at.

I like how it looks but I don't understand how to "select"

the previews where not showing up for me, but I still had fun exploring the fractals. this is a very creative idea - well done!

I love fractals and I'm delighted that you've found a way to make a game out of them ! I got stuck on the fourth one but I had a great time nonetheless. Great job !

i couldn't start the game. i had an error message: "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll not found" any idea what the problem could be?

this is such a creative idea, i haven't seen a ton of games using fractals as a gameplay element.

Great Idea! :)

Clever way to fit the theme! Plus it's a simple program with some shaders to compute the fractals. Thank you for the cheats, I gave up looking for places that looks like a lot of other places several times.

You have repeated yourself a lot in the shades. Wouldn't it be simpler if you just defined the Iterate functions somewhere?

Super unique concept to fit the theme! Love it

Wow, that's a very unique game! I love the idea.

I did not expect a fractal-based game at all, this is pretty cool even if I'm terrible at finding things.

The game is still playable at (estimated) 5~10fps on my Vega 8 integrated graphics.

This was a super impressive game with a unique twist, and it even runs well enough on my old laptop, so you've definitely have some amazing technical skills!

That being said, I didn't really care that much for the game itself. I felt some of the details were far too small to notice, and the amount of very similar yet technically distinct features (by the very nature of being a fractal) got annoying after a while. It was a bit too much like finding a needle in a haystack for my tastes.

Fantastic idea for the jam! I got a little restless and starting taking all the hints so I could see all the pretty fractals you've added. Well done!
